Surgical Instrument - A surgical instrument has a shaft, an end effector comprising at least one movably mounted tool element and defining a longitudinal axis, and a force transmitting member mounted in the shaft for movement in the distal and proximal directions for transmitting an actuating force introduced at a proximal end of the instrument onto the end effector in order to move the at least one tool element from a first tool element position to a second tool element position and/or vice versa. The at least one tool element is pivotably mounted on a bearing shaft held on the shaft. The at least one tool element is connected by at least one articulation member, at least a section of which is flexible, to the force transmitting member in order to transmit the actuating force from the force transmitting member onto the at least one tool element.

TUBE MOUNT OF A ROLLER PUMP - A peristaltic pump includes a housing in which a tube mounting case is formed in which a pump head is rotatably supported. The pump includes a tube unit provided as a replacement part consisting of a flexible tube and a tube fixture which holds the tube at two positions. The tube unit is insertible in the tube mounting case so that by displacing the tube fixture, the tube enters into tensioning engagement with the pump head. A tensioning device is arranged on the housing or on the tube mounting case in the form of a lever mechanism for tensioning displacement of the tube fixture by at least one lever element. A locking or clamping mechanism forms an undercut which upon reaching a tube tensioning position engages in a counter-locking/clamping mechanism arranged on the tube fixture for locking the tube fixture and the tensioning device in the tube tensioning position.

GAS DISCHARGE LAMP - The invention relates to a gas discharge lamp with a gas discharge tube having a cylindrical discharge region and having two electrodes which are arranged at an outer side of the gas discharge tube. To achieve an improved gas discharge tube having external electrodes with an increased lifetime it is proposed that each electrode has a planar disc shaped holding section which each have a respective opening and in that the cylindrical discharge region is received in the openings in a shape matched manner, wherein the cylinder axis of the cylindrical discharge region lies perpendicular to the planar holding sections.

Gas Analyzer for Measuring the Mercury Content of a Gas - The invention relates to a gas analyzer for measuring the mercury content of a gas having an Hg light source which transmits transmitted light having wavelengths of at least one spectral line of the mercury, a measuring cell in which the gas to be measured is present, a light receiver, an evaluation unit and a test cuvette which can be introduced into the beam path for checking the operability. To provide an improved gas analyzer which can be calibrated in a simple manner as well as a corresponding improved calibration method, provision is made that the test cuvette contains benzol as a test gas.

METHOD FOR THE LASER SPECTROSCOPY OF GASES - A method of determining a concentration of a gas in a sample and/or the composition of a gas using a spectrometer comprises the transmitting of radiation whose wavelength substantially continuously runs through a wavelength range, wherein the continuous running through of the wavelength range is overlaid by a wavelength modulation; the measuring of an absorption signal from the absorption of the radiation by the gas as a function of the wavelength of the radiation; the converting of the absorption signal into a first and a second derivative signal; the deriving of a first measured gas concentration value from the first derivative signal and of a second measured gas concentration value from the second derivative signal; and the determining of the concentration and/or the composition of the gas from at least the first measured gas concentration value, wherein the wavelength modulation is adapted in response to a change of a state variable of the gas such that a ratio between the first measured gas concentration value and the second measured gas concentration value is kept substantially constant.
